2 Overview of IQxel-M The IQxel-M is a manufacturing oriented, Multi-DUT, Multicom test system, designed to calibrate and verify performance of wireless connectivity devices in high-volume production environments. The IQxel-M makes use of non-signaling physical layer test methods to significantly increase test throughput when compared to signaling based methodologies typical of R&D and conformance testing. Enabled by LitePoint s fifth generation Packet Engine processor, the IQxel-M is capable of performing simultaneous testing on up to four devices using synchronous and/or asynchronous parallel test methods. This maximizes test efficiency and minimizes the total cost of test of wireless connectivity products. Highest Test Throughput for Multicom Wireless Connectivity Devices The IQxel-M supports multiple connectivity technologies with banded frequency coverage from 60 MHz to 6,000 MHz. It provides full Tx/Rx physical layer testing of a/b/g/n/j/p/ac, ah, Bluetooth , ZigBee, Z-Wave, WiSUN, LTE-U and DECT. It also provides receiver testing of GPS, GLONASS, COMPASS, Galileo, and FM. IQxel-M addresses the ever-increasing capabilities of smart connected devices with the ability to simultaneously test Wi-Fi/BT functionality on up to four (4) devices while concurrently performing navigation and broadcast tests further increases the throughput capabilities of the system.
